Jedvay, Mendez and Alip.  Legionnaires who do not enforce the RPL

It is strange to give time to foreigners who often make mistakes.

Behind only ten rounds RPL, that is, even Khimki’s Belarusian Zakhar Volkov will not receive a “wolf ticket”, although his team has only won twice and made many mistakes in defense. Everyone on the list below will have the chance to rehabilitate in the field. But for now, for each one, we ask ourselves what they can give RPL something a local player can’t handle?

Furthermore, the anti-rating can be expanded if Idovu from St. Petersburg with a Nigerian passport does not come to his senses, Norman will continue at Dynamo as he started and Nicholson will be the fifth wheel in Abaskal’s four forwards. Or serious players, like Kirk, will be included in the game twice in three months. However, there are worse examples than Dutch.

Nuraly Alip (Zenit)

In St. Petersburg they directly say that this is not a player of the level of Zenit. It doesn’t mean that Alip won’t play for a more modest club RPL, but Semak did the right thing by removing Rodrigao in Sochi. Stronger the Brazilian and Lovren, also Chistyakov and Adamov. They play in two central, instead of Alip for forty minutes in two games, a young Russian footballer could have played. Natural with good data, but unstable. The Kazakhstan national team also failed yesterday, even if the result of that match did not count, the Kazakhs left the League of Nations group earlier than expected.

Bruno Fuchs (CSKA)

Waiting for it, waiting for it. So Diveev got injured and Fuchs won’t necessarily get out. Fedotov first played midfielder Zainutdinov in defense, used veteran Nababkin, asked Brazilian Willian to sign and did not put Bruno in the base. See, there are good reasons for this. But we know the subject in which Bruno remains RPL. After the injuries, the prices of his shares on the market plummeted and the salary is repeated CSKA no one in Brazil wanted. What if the defender comes in handy for the “army squad” in the near future? Let’s see, because I’ve only played 11 minutes so far RPL. Bad for a beginner for 8 million euros.

Maciej Rybus (Spartak)

The bet on a free agent was logical, Rybus plays better than the Lokomotiv defenders. It turns out that Spartak’s neighbor has lost a footballer for free, which he agrees to stay in Moscow and receive less than in Lokomotiv. But the logic of betting on Rybus will not erase the real mistakes of an experienced Pole. It’s like he has a dual gaming personality. He can create chances in the same game, where he will “bring” his goal to him. The Pole is in a strange state. If Spartak had a sporting director in the summer, they could sign a young winger, because Khlusevich cannot play on both flanks at the same time.

Victor Mendes (CSKA)

Perhaps the most mysterious newcomer of the summer in RPL. What exactly is Mendes stronger than Kuchaev, Oblyakov and Mukhin in the midfield positions? The young Chilean did not present himself as a pure opornik, that is, he was not destined to become the new Wernbloom. Mendez in the debut game was generally released in the offensive line. Subsequently they deepened, but the result is always the same: the midfielder seems to be on the pitch, but it is difficult to notice. Mendez became part of Torpedo’s defeat and didn’t help win before. Perhaps he has not adapted, but there are doubts that Victor Mendez can make a difference and stand out with class and not diligence.

Francois Camano (Locomotive)

Mamassi has a Russian passport, no longer a legionnaire, the unfortunate young defender is not here. Camano also has several documents. His Guinean soul begged to return to his native France. The extreme striker has scored one goal in ten games for Lokomotiv RPL, and last winter, only a failed medical examination left Francois in the composition, as Zorn spoke. In Moscow they pay well, so the outside remains. But if you look at the returns and benefits, it would be better to find another legionnaire in the base. The German coaches did not wait for Kamano to help RPLLokomotiv disappointed the fans.

Adolfo Gaich (CSKA)

Too many “army” players here. But Fuchs, Mendez and Gaich certainly don’t play like Zainutdinov, Medina and Carrascal. A legionnaire does not guarantee success, and if we talk about Adolfo, then the problem with him is not only in the name, as a bloodthirsty dictator. Gaich had a chance several times but got a donut hole. The tall Argentinian scored against Krasnodar and a week later was afraid of Torpedo. Fedotov is trying to disperse Gaich, but an 8.5 million euro newcomer with a large salary goes out for 15-20 minutes and looks heavy. Zabolotny in Sochi played better than Adolfo in the squad CSKA.

Emmerson Illoy-Ayet (Urals)

The son of the Congolese Michel was born in Odessa. A tall and powerful guy. Is this where the advantages of the Ural defender end? Perhaps Gancharenko will prepare the giant for good football in the second third of the league. But for now, Emmerson Mishelevich is more associated with frequent Ural defeats. It cannot be said that the defense is always terrible, but after Adamov and Kuzmichev new leaders are needed. Emmerson and Gerasimov are not protecting Pomazun as they should.

Tin Edvai (Locomotive)

Nominally the strongest player on this list. Tin didn’t play for Roma, but he played well for Bayer at first. Then he slowed down, last year he agreed to fly to Moscow. But this is definitely not a new Chorluka for Lokomotiv. We understand Dalic, the coach no longer calls Tin in the Croatian national team, he is not part of that team. I just made no mistakes RPL, although in terms of class he can generally be the strongest of his team. But school and skill are not enough if the shape is so indistinct. The Croatian is 26 years old but does not play in a mature way. One of the biggest disappointments of the beginning of the season.

The strategy for buying foreign players, given that the rules allow it, is the right way for the leading clubs, there is simply no other way. But that Lokomotiv, who has spent a lot on newcomers, is now not a competitor of Zenit, who CSKA, performing more successfully until he reached Semak, Fedotov was six points behind after a third of the way. TO RPL there are apparently decent legionaries, without whom the division will surely survive.

Another thing is that almost everyone here can play a lot better. We are talking about an unrealized potential and not its complete absence. But the usual market crash makes it difficult to get up and running, separate and get to know newcomers smoothly. Therefore, even when a legionnaire does not show class, he is given both a second and a third chance. Something reminiscent of a long-term approach to borderline children.

RPL rewarded with a double cap, now they will not only look local in the mouth? For example, Urunov did not play at Spartak, did not play at Ufa after his return and now moved to Ural, Gancharenko was tasked with reviving the career of a young Uzbek. Important moment in history RPL. Now much weaker legionaries will try to get a big contract, the shortage in the market does not lead to an improvement in quality. An opportunity for young Russians, but among them there are guys who are thinking of leaving.

7 star football players who may miss the 2026 World Cup due to injury

7 star football players who may miss the 2026 World Cup due to injury

This summer, the 23rd FIFA World Cup finals will take place in the USA, Canada and Mexico. All professional football players, without exception, dream of playing in this tournament, from stars such as Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo to players whose names are not well known to the public (perhaps only for now).

However, some star and very famous football players are at risk of missing the next World Cup. The reason for this is health problems…

Joshko Guardiol

Age: 23 years old
Citizenship: Croatia
Club: Manchester City

Joschko Guardiol, the key defender of Manchester City, who has been playing for the “citizens” since the summer of 2023, suffered a serious injury recently – in the match against Chelsea in early January 2026, which ended with a score of 1: 1. As a result of the medical examination, a fracture was detected in the fibula bone of Guardiola’s right leg. Manchester City doctors immediately announced to the technical staff and club management that they could no longer trust the Croatian player at the end of this season. Yoshko’s estimated recovery time is approximately four months. However, this is the most favorable prognosis as recovery may take five or six months.

Theoretically, if Guardiol returns from hospital towards the end of May, he will have the chance to be included in the Croatian national team at the 2026 World Cup. Of course, the centre-back will have to go abroad without training and far from the best conditions, but… Without Josko, the Croatian national team will definitely lose a lot, because by the age of 23 Guardiola had already made 46 appearances and scored 4 goals for the “checkers”.

Takumi Minamino

Age: 30 years old
Citizenship: Japan
Club: Monaco

Takumi Minamino may not be a world football star, but he can certainly have such status in his native Japan. In the past, the winger had a two-and-a-half-year contract at Liverpool, but Takumi never managed to become a key figure for the Reds. As a result, Minamino has been playing in France since the summer of 2022 for Monaco, which paid a large sum of 15 million euros to the British for his transfer.

In Monaco, Minamino is constantly a key player, but on December 21 last year, in the 5th round match of the French Cup against Auxerre (2:1), the Japanese midfielder was injured, and then doctors determined that it was a rupture of the cruciate ligament in the knee. The normal recovery time in such cases is 6-9 months, effectively ending Takumi’s hopes of playing in the 2026 World Cup. It will be a real miracle if the midfielder, who played 73 times for Japan and helped the Blue Samurai defeat Brazil 3-2 in a friendly match in October, continues to take part in the tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico.

Muhammed Salisu

Age: 26 years old
Citizenship: Ghana
Club: Monaco

Mohammed Salisu, Minamino’s teammate and one of the strongest players in the current Ghana national team, also risks not being able to play in the 2026 World Cup. The former football player from Southampton, for whom Monaco paid 15 million euros in August 2023, was injured in early January this year and it is very possible that he will not be able to go to the USA, Canada and Mexico as a player for the national team.

Doctors diagnosed Salisu with a cruciate ligament tear in his knee. In theory, this could mean that Muhammad will miss slightly less than he would with a rupture… But in the near future, Salis will need to undergo several additional examinations that will help determine the severity of his injury and what treatment would be more appropriate to choose. And there is a risk here that further examination will reveal that the African has more serious injuries than currently expected. Then he will definitely not be able to play in the 2026 World Cup, but so far doctors have not specified a specific time frame for recovery. It is clear that we are talking about months, not days or weeks…

Andreas Christensen

Age: 29 years old
Citizenship: Denmark
Club: barcelona

The Danish national team has not yet qualified for the 2026 World Cup. In March, this team will first have to play against North Macedonia and, if successful, in the play-offs against the winner of the Czech Republic-Ireland double. However, the Danes are seen as the favorites by many, but they will definitely have to earn a ticket to the tournament in the USA, Canada and Mexico without key defender Andreas Christensen.

The 29-year-old Barcelona defender, who lost his role as an important figure in the Blaugranas in recent years largely due to frequent health problems, suffered a partial rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee at the end of December last year and preferred a conservative treatment method. This in theory leaves Denmark with a better chance of continuing to play at the 2026 World Cup in the summer if they manage to qualify.

Eder Militao

Age: 27 years old
Citizenship: Brazil
Club: Real

On December 8, 2025, it was learned that Eder Militao, the defender of Real Madrid and the Brazilian national team, was injured. It was related to a muscle tear in his left thigh, which resulted in doctors deciding it would take around four months for the Brazilian player to fully recover. In fact, we should see Militao on the football fields at the beginning of April, two months before the start of the 2026 World Cup.

It would seem, what is the risk of Eder missing the World Cup in the USA, Canada and Mexico? The problem is that Militao has literally become “glass” in recent years. It haunts injury after injury. Muscle injuries and cruciate ligament problems in the knee have almost become a “chronic” for the Brazilian defender; Therefore, no one has confidence in Militao’s real playing conditions and abilities to go to North America in the summer. It is worth noting that Eder played four matches for the Selecao in the 2022 World Cup; two in the group stage, 1/8 against South Korea in the final (4:1) and 1/4 against Croatia in the final (1:1, 2:4 – on penalties).

Justin Kluivert

Age: 26 years old
Citizenship: Holland
Club: Bournemouth

Bournemouth and Netherlands midfielder Justin Kluivert, the son of legendary former Orange forward Patrick Kluivert, may also join the sadness of those who will miss the final part of the 2026 World Cup due to health problems. Justin had surgery on his problematic knee on January 4 and now doctors will try to get him back on his feet as soon as possible so that Kluivert can continue to be useful to both Bournemouth and the Dutch national team.

Predictions so far are that Justin will return by April. This will allow the football player to realize his dream and play in the World Cup, especially since Justin took part in six matches and made one assist. But you can think as far ahead as you want and, more importantly, how Kluivert’s recovery process will actually progress after he missed a total of two calendar months last year due to various injuries and health problems…

Levi Colwill

Age: 22 years old
Citizenship: England
Club: Chelsea

Young defender Levi Colwill was seen by many observers as one of the key figures in the process of rejuvenating the England national team squad. Colwill made his debut in the “three lions” camp in October 2023 and was expected to go to the 2026 World Cup as he was the best player for his hometown Chelsea last year and is currently valued at up to 50 million euros on the Transfermarkt portal, but…

In August 2025, Levi tore his “crucifixes”, so he was away from football for a long time. Latest predictions suggest Colwill’s recovery is expected in late May or early June, making it extremely unlikely that this will contribute to the Chelsea center being recalled to the England squad for the 2026 World Cup. In the end, Thomas Tuchel in the USA, Canada and Mexico will need the most prepared football players who can finally seriously compete for the championship and are not limited to elimination at an early stage or a brave fight almost to the end, but without winning the cup. We would like to remind you that Football England was waiting for its second championship because it won its first and first in the 1966 World Cup.
